When She Blooms, They All Wither Chapter 9
Marco Rossi's POVThree hours after I fired the shot that shattered my hand, the bleeding finally stopped.I closed my eyes. The pain wasn't just skin and muscle. It felt like something was gnawing at the bone, something I had done to myself.The doctor said I was mentally well. Maybe they were right. But I had to make Anna see and know that I was willing to atone for what I did to her.She wouldn't answer my calls, though. She left my messages unread and didn't even glance my way.On her wedding day, she walked down the aisle in her dress, but I was too insignificant to grab her attention. I called her name, and she didn't pause for me.I watched her exchange rings, watched her smile, and watched as she said, "I do."On my birthday, Enzo asked me what I wanted. I said I just wanted to make a phone call. He laughed softly and asked to whom, and I said, "My fiancee."He shook his head and sighed. "Don, did you forget again? Your fiancee is already married to someone else."I di

Two weeks later, I received a video from an unknown number. In it, Marco raised a gun and fired at the hand he had once boasted about.A pair of large hands covered my eyes. A low, somewhat jealous voice asked, "Do you feel bad for him?"I gently pulled Ethan's hands away and played with his fingers. "He's not my husband. Why would I feel bad? If anyone deserves pity, it's my husband. Who knows if he'd drown in jealousy one day?"He scooped me up onto his lap and held me close, treating me like the most precious thing in the world. "Good. You're mine, Anna. No one can ever take you away from me."I smiled, the corners of my eyes sparkling. "I'll always be yours."Since then, I heard from old friends that Sofia had only pretended to fracture her hand. However, Marco had actually broken both of them. He even had someone "keep an eye" on her.Before her hands could fully heal, news came that she had been beaten again, leaving her paralyzed.As for Marco, after losing me, he drowned

On the day of the wedding, Mamma was fixing my hair when she suddenly received a phone call. She left in a hurry, but I didn't think much of it.It wasn't until I was walking down the aisle, my hand in Papa's, that I looked up and met a pair of eyes from the front row of the hall.Marco.His face was pale as death, his whole body swaying as if he could collapse at any moment. When he saw that the bride was me, he froze completely. Then, like a wild animal that had lost control, he tried to rush straight onto the aisle."Anna!" he shouted hoarsely, almost hysterical. "Don't marry him!"Guests turned their heads in surprise. A group of well-trained guards stepped forward immediately and dragged him away without hesitation.Held back outside the chapel doors, Marco watched Ethan and me exchange rings with bloodshot eyes.After the priest finished the long vows, I spoke my answer clearly. "I do."He stood there frozen, a loud ringing filling his ears. Like a puppet with its strings

15 years ago, I witnessed a kidnapping with my own eyes.There was no time to look for help. The only thing I could do was hide inside the trunk of their car. The boy they had taken seemed certain he wouldn't survive. He just sat there quietly, waiting for whatever would happen next.Risking everything, I climbed in through a window, cut the rope tied around his wrists, and pulled him with me as we tried to escape.In the end, we still couldn't get away. When one of the kidnappers raised a knife and lunged at him, I stepped in front of him and took the hit instead.Right before I lost consciousness, I saw the boy grab a weapon and fight back desperately.After I was rescued, I ran a high fever for several days. When I finally woke up, the boy was already gone. My parents told me his family had taken him home, and only then did I feel relieved.Ethan looked at me with gentle eyes. "Anna, my mamma passed away when I was young. My stepmother once sent people after me. If it hadn't b

At dawn, Marco went straight to Sofia's place.I clenched my teeth, enduring the unbearable pain from my shattered wrist, and sent him a breakup message. Then, I grabbed my documents, called a cab, and headed straight for the airport.On the plane, everything had happened too fast. I only swallowed two painkillers in a hurry. When the medicine wore off, the fever hit me hard. Cold sweat soaked through my clothes.A kind flight attendant noticed something was wrong. When she opened my coat, she saw my wrist hanging at a strange, twisted angle. She immediately called the purser and announced the cabin, asking if there was a doctor present.Through the gaze of my fading consciousness, I saw a tall, blurry figure kneel before me. "High fever and wrist fracture. There's fever medicine in my bag… Hand me the gauze."His voice was deep and urgent, but steady. There was something in it that calmed people without trying.In my groggy state, I heard him say, "You're burning up. Come on, op

"Sofia!"A violent force slammed into me, throwing me hard against the railing. Sharp pain exploded along my spine, and half my body went numb in an instant.By the time I could process the agony, Marco's gaze was locked onto me. It was a look I had never seen in five years together—cold, furious, full of lethal rage."Marco, Anna only hurt me because she lost Luca once," Sofia said. "She was scared I'd take you away again, but I'm fine. I know she just cares too much about you. Don't be mad, okay?"Her words barely left her mouth before she gasped, clutching her wrist, as if she was experiencing some agonizing pain.Marco's face darkened instantly. He looked at me and spoke calmly, but his words carried a suffocating weight. "Anna, apologize to her."I bit my lip so hard it hurt, tears threatening to spill. Red-eyed, I shot back, "Apologize? Aren't you going to at least ask what she did to me first?"His expression turned colder. "No matter what she did, it's not an excuse for
